Primary 4 Assembly
……that the Primary 4 class assembly will take place on Friday 27th March at 2.15pm in the school. We welcome all parents/carers who are able to come and join in .
Toys in school
Please remember that toys should not be brought to school daily. There are lots of wonderful activities for the children to complete outdoors. They should not bring their own toys from home to play with at break and lunch time. If the class teacher requests toys to come in for a special occasion then they will be kept safe in the classroom and again should not be taken out to the playground.
Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
Uniform Exchange
Very soon you will see a big change taking place in the school foyer as we would like to create a uniform exchange area in the school. If you have any donations of school jumpers, cardigans, skirts, trousers etc. that no longer fit your children but would still be great for others.
We will let you know more about this once we have properly created our area for the exchange.
Modern Languages
At Mount Carmel we are excited to learn lots about other countries in the world. Over this term we are lucky to receive some additional support from Mrs Preston who is delivering some extra modern languages activities for both Spanish and French. This week she is teaching us all about Spanish Greetings.
Gracias Senora Preston !
Sumdog East Ayrshire Competition
Until Friday 6th March there is an East Ayrshire Schools Sumdog Challenge. All pupils can access this as home for additional Numeracy homework. The competition is based on accuracy and not number of questions answered – so read the questions very carefully.
Good Luck!

Congratulations to Abbey in Primary 7 who came 2nd in her Scottish Shotput competition last weekend.

World Book Day

On Thursday the learners can come dressed as their favourite character from a book.
To celebrate World Book Day, and promote reading for enjoyment, there are FREE audio books available here – https://www.worldbookday.com/world-of-stories/
